Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCIV (1792) First Line: Jesus, at thy command Lyrics: 1 Jesus, at thy command,
I launch into the deep;
And leave my native land,
Where sin lulls all asleep;
For thee I would the world resign,
And sail to Heav'n with thee and thine.
2 Thou art my pilot wise,
My compass is thy word;
My soul each storm defies,
While I have such a Lord!
I trust thy faithfulness and power,
To save me in the trying hour.
3 Tho' rocks and quicksands deep
Thro' all my passage lie;
Yet Christ will safely keep,
And guide me with his eye:
My anchor hope shall firm abide,
And every boisterous storm outride.
4 By faith, I see the land,
The port of endless rest:
My soul, thy sails expand,
And fly to Jesus's breast!
O may I gain the heavenly shore,
Where winds and waves distress no more!
5 Where'er becalm'd I lie,
And storms forbear to toss;
Be thou, dear Lord, still nigh
Lest I should suffer loss:
For more the treacherous claim I dread,
Than tempests bursting o'er my head.
5 Come, Holy Ghost, and blow
A prosperous gale of grace,
Waft me from all below,
To Heaven my destin'd place!
Then, in full sail, my port, I'll find,
And leave the world and sin behind.
